Do not install or use the machine near water, or when you are wet. For example, do
not use the machine near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool. Take care not to spill any liquids on the

create a risk of fire or electric shock. If an object falls into the machine that you
cannot remove, unplug the machine and consult a qualified service representative.
Do not place this machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. The machine could be
seriously damaged if it falls.
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

Never touch bare telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

Connecting the Power Cord
Connecting the Power Cord
Plug the power cord into a 120 V, 60 Hz, grounded AC (3-prong) outlet.
Caution!
♦ Do not plug the power cord into any other kind of outlet. This will damage
the machine and is not covered under the warranty.
♦ Make sure you have removed all of the packing tape before plugging
in the power cord (see page 10). Plugging in the power cord without
doing so may damage the machine.
The machine does not have
a power on/off switch, so
the power is turned on and
off by simply plugging in or
unplugging the power cord.
“CHECK CARTRIDGE” normally
appears in the display the first
time you plug in the machine.
This message appears until you
install the print cartridge.
